Looper

Looper is a spectacular genre thriller. Joseph Gordon-Levitt stars as Joe, a man employed by criminals from the future to do their janitorial work. He stands in a field, holding a beautiful, junky gun—the movie’s design is exquisite—until a bound, gagged prisoner from the future appears. Joe immediately blows the prisoner away and destroys the body. One day, the prisoner is Joe as an old man (Bruce Willis), and all hell promptly breaks loose. If you've ever complained about Hollywood's lack of originality, you owe it to your past self to go see Looper once or, preferably, twice. (PAUL CONSTANT)
